I'm a 39-year-old woman and had my gallbladder removed about a year ago. Six months later, I started getting pimples and marks on my skin, which I've never dealt with before. My skin is pretty fair, and I've tried using some products like sebeam soap, cleargel, and epiduo, as recommended by a dermatologist. It's been three weeks, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What's going on, and what else can I do to clear these up?

Question

My mom tried doing a chemical peel at home because her friends recommended it, and now she's ended up with some serious burns on her skin, leaving dark patches. We're really worried about how to fix this, especially since we can't find any doctors nearby due to the lockdown. Can you tell us what we should do?

Question

I've got naturally curly hair, but it's become super dry and frizzy over time because I haven't maintained it well. With a family event coming up, I'm thinking about getting my hair treated, and someone recommended cysteine treatment to tame it. I'm a bit worried about any side effects that might come with it. Is it safe to go for the cysteine treatment, or should I consider keratin or chemical smoothing treatments instead? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

Question

I'm a teenager with a patchy beard and acne. My dermatologist suggested using a salicylic acid facewash, and while my acne has gotten better, I've noticed that I lose one or two beard hairs every time I use the facewash. Could salicylic acid be causing my beard hair to fall out?
